We Can Still Do the Slide

First, a little eye candy appetizer. At left, Valerie, unlike most of our politicians, doesn't mind clearly delineating the platform(s) she stands on. At right, Jean brings new meaning to the old expression about wearing army boots.

But we digress (already!)

For the main course, two videos:

As usual, because we are technosaurs, we don't know how to fit the full sized video on the screen, so that's a miniaturized version to fit the blogspot frame. To see the video in all its full sized glory, click here. (Don't forget to click on the little box icon in the bottom right hand corner - just beneath the time line - that makes the video full screen size.)

And now the second video:

As before, for the full sized video, in technicolor, cinemascope and stereoscopic sound, click here.

And we'd like to point out that throughout the videos our hats and dresses stay in place, and afterwards we could easily have gone to a luncheon at the Plaza Hotel. Well - that's if we'd been invited, of course.

About Us

GROWING OLD WITH VERVE
‘Growing old gracefully’ is an outdated concept. We prefer ‘growing old with verve’. This blog documents our efforts to live up to that motto, in photos and essays. We embrace our gray hair, while sharing the playground nicely with our younger siblings. Bette Davis was right when she said 'growing old is not for sissies', but it’s also not one of Dante’s circles of hell. Idiosyncratic Fashionistas explores what’s out there for Women of a Certain Age, comments on what’s not out there, and demonstrates that our overlooked demographic is still fabulous.
AND see our long awaited and much ballyhooed public access tv debut, in which we model 12 great hats in 28 minutes:
